The Dolomites - a reign born from the sea

It is difficult to imagine that many of the peaks of the Dolomite Alps were once islands far out in the sea, surrounded by coral reefs teeming with the most disparate forms of animal and plant life, in an environment similar to that we see today in the "coral gardens" of the Maldives or many small islands in Polynesia and Melanesia.

Try to imagine to hike on an ancient reef as the Sasso Piatto, which coincides perfectly with the original underwater reef of 230 million years ago.

On 26th June 2009, UNESCO included these calcite mountains located in northeastern Italy on its list of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
